According to Dr Sharib:
"Al-Muhsi is the One Who encompasses and overpowers everything and
Who circumscribes everything within the orbit of His knowledge."
To emulate the name we advised to take to introspection and meditation.
Appropriate invocation enables one to dominate and overpower people.
see 'The 99 Most Beautiful Names of Allah' by Dr Zahurul Hassan Sharib
Some other references:
He does take account
Of them (all) and hath
Numbered them (all) exactly.
The holy Prophet Mohammed prayed thus -
"Show me the reality of things as they really are".
Al-Ghazali refers to Al-Muhsi as the Knower of each seperate thing.
"The one who knows each seperate thing absolutely is the one in whose
knowledge the limits of each object as well as its quantity and dimension
are revealed."
(Al-Ghazali - The Ninety-nine Beautiful Names of God. Trans. Burrel/Daher: ITS: 1992.)
To the sufis the real knowledge of a thing requires knowing it through
God - Who circumscribes every thing.
